Abstract: A novel optically anisotropic film useful for optical compensation of a liquid crystal display device is provided. The optically anisotropic film has a distorted twisted spiral structure, which is formed from a liquid-crystalline composition comprising a liquid-crystalline compound and at least one optically active compound the torsional force of which is changed by light. The optically anisotropic film is produced, for example by (1) heating a liquid-crystalline composition to temperature T 1 ; and (2) irradiating the liquid-crystalline composition with polarized light at temperature T 2 , provided T NI  < T 1  < 150°C (XI) and T CN  < T 2  < T NI  (XII), wherein T NI  is the temperature at which the liquid-crystalline composition phase transitions from a cholesteric phase to an isotropic phase, and T CN  is the temperature at which the liquid-crystalline composition phase transitions from a crystal phase to a cholesteric phase.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur une unité centrale (12) qui lie les valeurs associées à la circulation sanguine de voxels cibles d'images normalisées de circulation sanguine du cerveau de sujet (étape S34). L'unité centrale (12) trie les valeurs associées à la circulation sanguine dans l'ordre décroissant (étape S35). L'unité centrale (12) rejette les valeurs associées à la circulation sanguine qui se rapportent aux 10 % les plus élevées et aux 40 % les plus faibles (étape S36). Lorsque les sujets sont par exemple au nombre de 20, on rejette les valeurs associées à la circulation sanguine des 2 sujets aux valeurs les plus élevées et des 8 sujets aux valeurs les plus faibles. L'unité centrale (12) calcule et mémorise une valeur moyenne et un écart-type des valeurs associées à la circulation sanguine restantes après le rejet (étape S37). L'unité centrale (12) calcule une valeur moyenne et un écart-type de valeurs associées à la circulation sanguine pour chaque voxel en tant que voxel cible (étapes S31, S32, S33, et S38). Ensuite, on obtient la base de données alternative de cerveau normal pour une image de circulation sanguine de cerveau.

At such time, the EGR valve 38 is controlled so as to enter a predetermined open state prior to the valve opening request to the WGV 32. Further, the existence or non-existence of an operational abnormality of the EGR valve 38 is also jointly determined based on a change in the intake pipe pressure when a valve opening request to the EGR valve 38 is acquired.
